65% Passes House by a Two Vote Margin

The vote on Delegate Loupassi’s “65% Solution” bill was interesting. Our goal was to weaken the bill as much as possible in the House to make it easier to kill in the Senate. The 48-46 vote to pass the bill was far from a party-line vote. Twelve Republicans voted with us, and two Democrats voted against us. A "NAY" vote supported the VEA position.
